Wow! I can’t believe that we are nearing the end of our blocks. We have two more blocks， but this will be the last pieced block in the BERNINA Block Party series. And it is a large block that finishes at 24″； x 24″；. Not difficult if you take it a step at a time. We will do the center of this block first which is a simple star. We will then piece the purple and gray， and those pieces will become the parts for the outer star. So the Odd Fellow’s Chain block is essentially a star within a star.

If you are buying fabric for each block on a monthly basis， you will need four fabrics for this block； a pink， a greenbed pillow covers， a purple and the gray background fabric.

You now have 3 pieced units that become the 3 rows that make up the block. Stitch these 3 rows together for the Odd Fellow’s Chain.

If you are going to make the entire quilt from the Block of the Month Series， set this large block aside for now. The instructions for piecing together all the blocks will come at the end of the series. Just one more block after this one!

Each month， I have given you instructions for different quilting techniques. If you have been quilting each block individually， this month use the quilting of your choice. We have explored free motion， ruler work， embroidery and automated quilting. Choose the technique that you have enjoyed the most or have been the most successful with.

Remember to join Denise Jones later this month for the project she has created with the Odd Fellow’s Chain.

While the classic color combination of black and white—a tried and true formula—never really goes out of style, the daring duo is de rigueur these days. Decorating in black and white in any setting, from living room to dining room to bedroom or even a staircase, makes a deliciously bold statement that is always sophisticated and never, ever dull.
